At this point, the only ethical reasons to keep animals in zoos are education and conservation," [Gordon Glover] said. "Even now, we're involved in a lot of breeding programs relative to other zoos, and especially relative to our budget. "It does look unsightly. It looks bad. If we could afford natural elements, we'd put them in," Glover said. "Animal enrichment is THE mantra in zoos right now. If it's a choice between keeping the critters happy and keep people happy, the critters win every time. I hope that never changes." "It's tremendously exciting. I've been here for 25 years and we've been talking about this for 15 years," he said. "We're in this position because we didn't maintain the zoo properly before. We can't wait to get started."
As for the new suitor, Baikal's qualities for love are simple: he's male, he's of breeding age and he's not a close relative of [Kendra]. [Bob Wrigley] said the SSP's committee decided that Winnipeg would be part of a four-zoo tiger swap, with a tiger in Winnipeg going to the Granby Zoo, a Granby tiger going to the Edmonton zoo, an Edmonton tiger going to the Calgary zoo, and the Calgary tiger coming to Winnipeg. You wouldn't know the difference. There are willows, pines and conifers. And we're at the same latitude. They're the northernmost tigers.

As a father in one of our studies put it, "The kids think that's why we go to the zoo, because the animals are there. It's a good reason for them, for us it's family time, burns off some energy. It gives us something to do. The Assiniboine Park Zoo is the oldest public zoo in Canada and an important resource for the City of Winnipeg. Many initiatives -- new exhibit for the Steller's Sea Eagles, renovation of the former Panda exhibit to accommodate Asian Lions and the Polar Bear Conservation Fund (in memory of the late Debby the Polar Bear) -- demonstrate the energy and commitment of the zoo's staff. Additional research shows the zoo is a popular venue for healthy activity for seniors, and, analyzing its enclosures and environments, is also a healthy place itself. Recent events at the z...

[Bobby-Jean]'s contribution to the survival of her species cannot be overestimated, said Dr. Bob Wrigley, Assiniboine Park Zoo's curator. You don't need a better example than grey gibbons if you're talking about (the importance of) captive breeding. Within 40 years, this species will be totally extinct in the wild," he said Friday inside the zoo's primate enclosure, where one of Bobby-Jean's daughters, 10-year-old Willow, still resides. "It's very strange, because we're in such a cold climate and these (animals) come from the tropics," he said, surmising the zoo's infrequent use of anesthesia may contribute to the fertility of its primates.

You can see the barrel has taken quite a beating," [Bob Wrigley] told me, heaving a sigh. "We'll have to get him a new barrel pretty soon. You'd think he'd get bored with this, but he just keeps going. "The increase in daylight stimulates all the animals into breeding," Wrigley explained. "There's just a flurry of excitement. We have 1,200 animals of 380 species, so there's always something going on." The zoo's aging bald eagles, for instance, recently got together for some serious canoodling. "They caught us totally off guard," Wrigley beamed as we looked at the huge birds. "They're in their 40s and they're still sexually active. That's unheard of!"
